Barcelona vs Dortmund live updates: Raphinha stars again in Champions League quarter-final thrashing

Barcelona have one foot in the Champions League semi-final after hammering Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final tie.

It was a game thoroughly dominated by the Spanish giants and they were deserving of their massive victory. Raphinha, very cheekily, poked in Pau Cubarsi‘s goalbound effort on the goal line in the first half before Robert Lewandowski added the second almost immediately after half-time.

Lewandowski then scored again against his former club and Lamine Yamal, not wanting to miss out on the goalscoring action, made it 4-0 with a super cool finish after a perfectly threaded Raphinha through ball.

The two teams will renew acquaintances in next Tuesday’s second leg at Signal Iduna Park.
